Before You Sign a Military
Enlistment Agreement:
- Do
not make a hasty decision by enlisting the first time you see a recruiter or
when you are upset.
- Take
a witness with you when you speak with a recruiter.
- Talk
to veterans.
- Consider
your moral feelings about going to war.
- Get a
copy of the enlistment agreement.
- There
is no "period of adjustment" during which you may request and receive an
immediate honorable discharge.
- Get
all your recruiter's promises in writing but also remember that the military
can change the terms (such as pay, job, or benefits) of your work.
- There
are no job guarantees in the military.
- Military
personnel cannot exercise all of the civil liberties enjoyed by civilians.
- Many
opportunities exist for you to serve your community and enhance your
